Good actor, but legs too short, waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay toooooooooooooooo shoooooooooooooort to be Lara Croft. I expect lots of editing around that. They already do what they can for her in other movies.

Funny though, wasn't into Jolie either. This new one looks a bit.... soft, to be a Tomb Raider. I'll have to think about whom I would choose.

I know you said legs; there are two types of legs...elongated and in the metaphorical sense...having legs, stamina, denouement, emotionally involved in a movie.

Plus, and it's the main plus of my posting the first link above; check Alicia walking by her partner Michael Fassbender.



She's a dancer, a model and an actress...of course. And she's prettier than the moon on a stardom night.

Like I was saying, they do what they can to make them look longer.

Here is a better example that has no doctrination. Angelina. No matter the measurements, perceptually you can see the misfit with Alicia. She doesn't look the part.

What is really funny is even though she is small, she makes Michael Fastbender's legs look real small for his height. He looks slightly funny, really.

It's all fun; Angelina rocked as Lara Croft in her days...now we just have a new Lara Croft, with smaller lips, different build, new fresh young looks, more real, closer to home, and from a new perspective, as mentioned in the link that I provided previously...Alicia. Did you check that latest link* from wired?

Sure, we can become the new film casting directors, you and I, and I'm certain we can pick the best Lara Croft for the next Hollywood film series. :b

Love Tomb Raider. I have played most of the games all the way through, except the latest, which I have to pickup sometime for Playstation 4.

I'm not a gamer but I enjoy Tomb Raider on Blu-ray (two of them)...for Angelina, for the active techno addictive music, for the locales, for the classical music (Bach piano concert 5 album) she plays @ home in her manor on her Clearaudio turntable, from the first Lara Croft flick.



I also have the motion picture audio soundtracks on CDs.

So I am looking forward to this new one with Alicia Vikander, and also starring the other beautiful Hannah John-Kamen.
